Bandai Namco is bringing Digimon Story: Time Stranger to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 on Friday 10 July. The game has been out on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC since October last year, where it passed a million sales, and now the Nintendo versions land this week. It is developed by Media Vision.

It is a turn-based RPG where you collect, tame and evolve more than 450 Digimon. You play an agent of an organisation called ADAMAS, dropped into an event that puts both the human world and the digital world on the edge of ruin, and the story sends you travelling between the two and even across time. The fighting is strategic and turn-based, built around the bonds you grow with your team.

On Switch 2 there are two ways to play. Quality Mode runs 4K HDR at up to 30fps docked, and Full HD at up to 30fps in handheld. Performance Mode targets Full HD at up to 60fps docked and handheld. That 60fps performance mode is also being added to the PS5, Xbox and PC versions as a free update. There is a free demo on the eShop right now if you want a look before you buy, and it comes in Standard, Digital Deluxe and Digital Ultimate editions, the higher two folding in the Season Pass of three DLC packs.

The reason this one is on my radar is that it fits how I actually get to play. It is a big, deep world, hundreds of Digimon to chase and a proper story, but being turn-based means I can put it down the second a kid needs me and pick it straight back up. On the Switch 2 it comes on the school run and the road trips too.
